Thank you, Jian, it works this way.

I want to read/write to Lustre even if one of OSTs with file is unavailable.

But now if i unmount one of OSTs with file, I can't read/write from/to this 
file.

Lustre v2.11.52

Is this use case works in Lustre?

# lfs getstripe ./1
./1
  lcm_layout_gen:    3
  lcm_mirror_count:  2
  lcm_entry_count:   2
    lcme_id:             65537
    lcme_mirror_id:      1
    lcme_flags:          init
    lcme_extent.e_start: 0
    lcme_extent.e_end:   EOF
      lmm_stripe_count:  1
      lmm_stripe_size:   1048576
      lmm_pattern:       raid0
      lmm_layout_gen:    0
      lmm_stripe_offset: 2
      lmm_objects:
      - 0: { l_ost_idx: 2, l_fid: [0x100020000:0x5:0x0] }

    lcme_id:             131074
    lcme_mirror_id:      2
    lcme_flags:          init,stale
    lcme_extent.e_start: 0
    lcme_extent.e_end:   EOF
      lmm_stripe_count:  1
      lmm_stripe_size:   1048576
      lmm_pattern:       raid0
      lmm_layout_gen:    0
      lmm_stripe_offset: 0
      lmm_objects:
      - 0: { l_ost_idx: 0, l_fid: [0x100000000:0x44:0x0] }
# umount /mnt/lustre/ost2
# cat ./1
...infinite wait...

So I've unmounted OST with index 2 and can't even `cat` the file.
